London Gatwick Airport Taxi | Fixed-Price Transfers, 24/7
Booking a London Gatwick Airport taxi shouldn’t mean gambling on a metered fare or hoping a ride-hailing app finds you a driver at 4am. At Onward Travel Solutions, every gatwick taxi we run is a fixed-price, door-to-door booking — a licensed driver assigned to you specifically, your flight linked to the job so we know your real arrival time, and a fare that’s locked in from the moment you book. Whether you’re heading to LGW from anywhere across Greater London or landing and need a lift home, the process is the same. Use the quote form above, or call +44 7575 470883 to talk it through.
Search “gatwick taxis” or “airport taxi london gatwick” and you’ll find plenty of operators happy to quote a rough estimate that changes once the meter’s running or the M23 backs up. A generic ride-hailing app can also leave you without a driver willing to take a longer airport run at short notice. Booking ahead with an agreed price sidesteps both problems — you know the number before you’ve left the house, and you’re not relying on an app to match you with someone last minute.
What Booking a Gatwick Airport Taxi Involves
A taxi to Gatwick Airport from central London typically covers 25 to 35 miles depending on your starting point, usually via the A23 or M23, and takes somewhere between 45 minutes and 90 minutes depending on traffic. Every driver holds the relevant TfL or council private hire licence, has passed a DBS check, and carries hire-and-reward insurance as standard — not an optional extra we charge more for. Whether you’re booking a taxi to LGW for an early departure or need collecting after a long-haul arrival, the fare agreed at booking is the fare you pay.
North or South: We Take You to the Right Terminal
Gatwick has two terminals, North and South, and being dropped at the wrong one means an unplanned shuttle transfer. Our drivers already know which terminal your airline uses before you’ve even mentioned it, based on your flight number, so every gatwick airport taxi we run goes straight to the right set-down point.
A Price That Doesn’t Move
Whatever we quote you at booking is what you’ll actually pay. A slow A23, an unplanned diversion, a flight that lands later than scheduled — none of it touches your fare. Gatwick’s own terminal charges are already folded into the number you’re given, so there’s genuinely nothing else to settle once you’re there. If you’ve been comparing prices for a taxi to Gatwick Airport, the number that matters isn’t the headline quote — it’s whether it changes on the day, and with us it never does.
Your Flight, Watched the Whole Way
Give us your flight number at booking, in either direction, and we track it without you needing to check in. Landing at Gatwick and your flight’s delayed? Your pickup shifts to match automatically, no waiting charge attached. Heading to the airport? We plan your collection time around the M23’s likely mood that day, so an early check-in doesn’t turn into a sprint through the terminal.
Someone There When You Land
Ask for meet and greet and your driver will already be inside the arrivals hall, name board visible, rather than leaving you to find an unmarked car in a crowded pickup zone — especially welcome after a long-haul flight with young children or heavy luggage in tow.
Vehicles Sized to the Group — Including a Taxi with Infant Car Seat
Solo travellers and couples generally take the Saloon, three passengers and two large cases. Need more boot space? The Estate covers four passengers and four cases, a common choice for families or a heavier luggage load. Executive steps things up for business travel or a more comfortable ride. Bigger parties fit into the People Carrier, Executive Minivan, or our 8-Seater Minivan, keeping a full group of up to eight in one car rather than splitting across two.
Travelling with a baby or toddler? We provide a taxi with infant car seat at no extra cost — just tell us the number of children and their ages when you book, and the correct seat (infant, toddler, or booster) will already be fitted before your driver arrives. It’s one less thing to carry through the terminal and one less thing to worry about on the M23.
Running Every Hour, Every Day
Gatwick doesn’t stop for the night, and neither do we. A 4am departure, a midnight collection after a delayed long-haul arrival — our dispatch covers all of it, 24 hours a day, with no overnight premium tacked onto the fare.

On the day: Your driver comes straight to your address — no shared pickup point to find first. Arriving at Gatwick, they’ll be in your terminal’s arrivals area, name board out if requested.
Picking your car: Saloon, Estate, Executive, People Carrier, Executive Minivan, or 8-Seater Minivan, with exact capacity for each laid out in the booking form.
En route: Your driver runs the fastest line via the A23 and M23, adapting to traffic without it costing you anything extra.
Why it’s worth it: One agreed price, one named driver, and flight tracking that adjusts your pickup on its own — taking the guesswork out of getting to and from LGW.
Covering the Whole of London
We’re not limited to any single part of the capital for a gatwick airport taxi — our drivers cover pickups right across London, including Camden, Clapham, Wimbledon, Bromley, and Croydon, each covered in more detail on its own page if you’d like route-specific pricing and journey times. If Gatwick isn’t the airport you need, the same fixed-price approach runs across Heathrow, Stansted, Luton, and London City — our full network is listed on the routes page.
Choosing Gatwick Over the Alternatives
Gatwick’s route network covers most of Europe and a solid spread of long-haul destinations, making it one of London’s most-used airports for both leisure and business travel. If your airline flies from elsewhere, it’s worth checking whether Heathrow, Stansted, or Luton might suit your trip better — each has its own dedicated transfer page. Whichever airport you land on, the booking mechanics, the flight tracking, and the fixed fare work exactly the same way.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is a taxi to Gatwick Airport?
It depends on your exact pickup point, the terminal you need, and the vehicle you choose — run those through the booking form and you’ll get the actual fixed price, not an estimate. Prices for a London Gatwick Airport taxi typically compare favourably against a metered minicab once waiting time and terminal charges are factored in.
What does “LGW” mean and does it matter for booking?
LGW is simply the airport code for Gatwick. A taxi to LGW works exactly the same way as any Gatwick airport taxi booking — just tell us your terminal and flight number.
Do you provide a taxi with infant car seat for babies and toddlers?
Yes, at no extra charge. Tell us the number of children travelling and their ages when you book, and the correct seat will be fitted before your driver arrives.
Which Gatwick terminal will my driver take me to?
Whichever one you tell us at booking — North or South — or whichever your airline uses if you’re not sure. Our drivers know both terminals and exactly where to stop at each.
Do you cover pickups anywhere in London, or just specific areas?
Our gatwick airport taxis cover the whole of Greater London. If your area has a dedicated page with route-specific pricing, we’ll show it to you; otherwise the general booking form gives you a fixed price straight away.
Can I book a Gatwick taxi in advance?
Yes, and booking a day or two ahead is the surest way to lock in the vehicle class you want. Our online taxi booking system also takes same-day bookings when a driver’s available.
Do you charge more for early morning or late-night transfers?
No — the fare you’re quoted holds regardless of what hour you’re travelling.
